Friend For Life
by Ersi Arvizu
Erzi Arvizu is a voice from the past, in the heart-tugging, gooseflesh-raising way - something wholly familiar yet seductively un-pinpointable.
Friend For Life is Arvizu's story strung into a dozen songs, sung both in Spanish and English, songs of love, despair, and survival.
In the mid-70's, as the lead singer of legendary group El Chicano, Arvizu and the band came to be known as one of the premier ambassadors of the East Los Angeles sound - an amalgam of rock, jazz, R&B and latin groove.
This album was selected by Stewart Matchett to feature on Deborah Cameron's 702 morning program as album of the week. We hope you enjoy it.
